Facebook Users Swamping Site With Judgement Day Jokes: Laser and Light Source Lazerpoint

May 28, 2011 - PRLog -- Shenzhen,China, May 28,2011: Many Facebook users have spend a lot of time this week joking about the passed day of rapture according to laser and light source Lazerpoint.

Last month, Christian pastor and radio DJ Harold Camping informed the world that on the 21st of May, 2011 good Christians would be assessed and lifted up to heaven before the arrival of the apocalypse.

Camping’s Family Radio congregation took this seriously but this was derided by large numbers of people on the internet with groups on Facebook leading the attack.

Johnson Gray, PR Manager for laser and flashlight seller, Lazerpoint, said Facebook has been swamped with jokes, groups and events dedicated the occasion.

The three events that got the most attention were a post-rapture looting party, a group asking members to capture evidence of ‘rapture victims’ and one from a company asking people what their plans were after judgement day.

There were a collective 839,661 attendees for these  pages with the Random Acts Of Rapture event attracting 5,793 attendees.

“People realize the inherent absurdity of there being a nameable date for the end of the world and want to express that,” said Mr Gray. “Who knew that Facebook would be their platform for doing this.”

Mr Gray said somepeople even used the site ‘Get Ready For Judgement Day’ as a way to bring attention to the problems faced by atheists in the US pushing for the separation of religion and government.

“One submitter pointed people to Damon Fowler, a US college student who has been ostracized from his community because of pointing out the illegality of prayer in school,” said Mr Gray.

The laser and flashlight supplier asked  Facebook followers what they would be doing the day of the rapture in return for a laser, headlamp or flashlight and received a range of answers.

“The answers we received ranged from very serious to extremely funny,” said Mr Gray. “It was an extremely enlightening experience.”

According to Mr Gray it wasn’t surprising that the campaign got such a huge response with with Lazerpoint’s product range and ethos.

“Only the smartest, most practical people shop on Lazerpoint,” said Mr Gray. “They know when not to overpay for lasers and they know a joke when they see it.”
